I’ll just be buying consumables moving forward. If I want a tool I’ll most likely buy Mafell or another brand. Festool is the only tool company that I know who does this every year and it is getting ridiculous. Not that anyone cares about my opinion.

The most insulting part of the price increases is that they are a rolling target. I remember 12/31 and 4/1 being other price increase days and have seen the 11 month price increase. When you offer 100+ tools and 1000's of accessories you have to be able to cover the mass of people designing and making the stuff. Like most companies of any size there are people who add very little value to the operation. We know the USD to EU conversion rate is not the issue. Our buying power went up and so did the prices.

I got my order in a mere couple hours before the prices went up thanks Shane answering a couple last minute questions yesterday. Nothing like a price little incentive for me to make a purchase I should have made weeks ago.
